CARSTAR EAGLE ROCK GUIDE

Why Modern Collision Repairs May Need Calibration

Many vehicles use cameras, radar, steering-angle data, ride-height information, and other systems to support driver-assistance features. Collision work can affect how those systems see and respond.

Small changes can matter

A bumper, windshield, mirror, suspension component, alignment angle, or mounting point may influence a camera or sensor even when damage appears minor.

Procedures determine the requirement

Calibration needs depend on the vehicle, equipment, replaced or repaired parts, diagnostic results, and manufacturer instructions—not a single rule for every repair.

Scanning and calibration are different

A scan reads diagnostic information. Calibration teaches a camera or sensor its correct position or reference. A repair may require one, both, or neither depending on procedures.

Verification belongs in the plan

Required calibrations, documentation, warning-light checks, alignment results, and post-repair scans should be reviewed before the vehicle is delivered.
